About

May Day Acres is a small family ranch located along Brush Creek in Eagle Colorado, specializing in raising Gypsy horses and ponies. Founded in South Dakota in 2009, May Day Acres was relocated to Eagle, Colorado in 2018, when the opportunity arose to move the ranch to family homestead land.  The family has been ranching and working in Eagle, CO since the late 1800’s and we are honored to be the 5th generation living and working on the land in the Eagle Valley! 

Our goal is to breed quality Gypsy Vanner horses who will make wonderful willing life partners! Every horse that we select for our breeding program has great conformation and movement, of course, but they must also possess an outstanding temperament and personality! Our herd has been carefully selected and planned over the years and we are proud of the quality stock we have produced. Each of our mares learn a job and the majority of them ride, drive, show and/or work in therapeutic programs.

Originally imported from all over Europe, we have a variety of well-known and proven, quality bloodlines within our Gypsy Vanner herd. Our lead stallion, Dakota Spirit Ori, has excelled in the show world and has traveled coast to coast to prove his quality, temperament and performance abilities! We offer stud services to him and our other Gypsy Vanner stallions. We can ship semen across the U.S., as well as, internationally for artificial insemination, providing both fresh cooled semen and frozen semen. Please visit our Services and Stallions pages for more information.

In addition to breeding service, we also have Gypsy Vanner foals for sale and occasionally older horses from our amazing herd. Please inquire as to the availability and reach out with what you are looking for. We love to chat about horses!

Visitors are welcome by appointment to meet the horses, take photographs, tour the farm and interact with the animals. When available you are welcome to pick vegetables and farm fresh eggs. We also have options for professional photographers or other interested parties to stage for weddings photos, senior pictures and graduations photos with our animals and wonderful scenery. Please contact us if you would like to learn more.
